Google Pixel 7 Pro: Finally PERFECT!?

[@HeyMarkL]

*sigh*.... guys, I literally added a text in the video saying the Pixel 7 Pro goes up to 512GB (which is a correction post editing) BUT it doesn't have a 1TB option, and the Pixel 7 only goes up to 256GB. What I ultimately wanted to say in the video is that it would be nice to have both the 7 and 7 Pro to have 1TB options. I just don't get why the 7's max storage is 256GB.

[@DolidasX1]

And that 512GB is only available in certain market. I love pixel phones, but I hate Google - promised to make official distribution by 2020 in my country, yet they haven't up to this day. Instead of having to pre-order Google Pixel 7 pro (256GB) from Google store and get a watch as a gift I had to pre-order it for like $100 more expensive and without watch, from the retail companies here. I don't get it. Google could've taken market by the storm with this device and shuffle the % of market shares, but they seem to only care about developed countries where Apple is still #1. I remember vividly how Huawei took over with just basically being great value / price devices with very good accesibility.

As Mark mentioned in the video. I too wished that they used the P4 face unlock. I was able to unlock my phone in the dead of the night with my eyes closed. I was even able to unlock my phone with a hat and sunglasses. I can't do that with my P7P 🙁

[@jimv1983]

The Pixel 4 face unlock did not work with a hat or sunglasses. It also didn't work with bright sun shining directly on the screen. I'm so glad Google got rid of that. Even the under the screen fingerprint reader (which I'm not a fan of) is better than any kind of face unlock.

Did he really just say the battery efficiency of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1? That's so far from the truth it's laughable. The Tensor chip is terrible and power efficiency.

I get a lot of creators love this phone, but not a rip-roaring success for most users. It still has issues that include the camera being clearly not ready, average at best battery, worse if using camera or LTE/5G, and performance struggles at times. I suspect its rave reviews are due to the price, as if it was the same as an iPhone 14PM, then the iPhone would be an easy choice. Price is, of course, very relevnt in these times, so it may be the mitigating factor. Hopefully updates will fix the bugs and some of the issues (apps freezing).

[@32toddv]

I found this phone to be buggy.... I used the 7 Pro for a week and barely made it that long. While battery life was great with all day use. The fingerprint scanner only works when the screen is awake, if the screen is black, asleep it will not unlock the phone. Unlike my S22U which unlocks the phone via fingerprint scanner regardless if the screen is asleep or awake. I installed the WSD glass on my 7 Pro, my all-time favorite screen protector and a clear minimalist case. The display is plenty bright outdoors and the phones size is nearly identical to the S22U, just with rounded corners. I personally like the round edges of the display vs a flat display, makes it feel premium to me imo. The Pixel 7 Pro definitely would benifit from a software update as both the fingerprint scanner, and the laggy camera and it's modes needs it. After only a week of use with the 7 Pro I switched back to my S22U and put the 7 Pro in my nightstand. I'll visit it again after it recieves some updates. Photos looked great when the camera didn't lag or want to freeze up for a few seconds which drove me insane. I also ran Nova Launcher with Vera icons pack as I prefer it over stock android look on any phone whether Samsung or Pixel.

[@ALTHEGREAT]

I bought a GP7 Pro. The camera quality is rubbish. I had a few Moto's for several years and the camera was better without a doubt.
